No. A cyclone can be any large scale low pressure system and does not necessarily produce strong winds. Tornadoes, though, by definition produce very strong winds. The strongest gust ever recorded in a cyclone was 253 mph. By contrast, winds of 302 mph have been recorded in tornadoes.

Are cyclones faster than tornadoes?

It depends on the cyclone, and the tornado. In some cases cyclone winds and tornado winds fall into the same range. However, tornado winds are generally stronger. By definition, a tornado must produce winds strong enough to cause damage; the same is not true of a cyclone. The very strongest tornadoes produce winds in excess of 300 mph, the fastest winds on earth.
